Citizenship Easy right now is in the middle of transition period. We are making filling out application process easier and free. Right now filling out forms online at Citizenship Easy is not possible due to work in progress. You still can take practice citizenship test and study US history online, though. We are working hard to update the look and functionality of the web site. Thank you for being patient.
Citizenship Easy team.

Hello, everyone! I am very excited to announce that Citizenship Easy site is undergoing major reorganization. Among many things that will be improved three most significant are:

• Addition of N-600 form fillable online


• New citizenship test


• Making all of the services free of charge

Right now our development team is working hard on rolling out a new service for filling out N-600 form (Application for Certificate of Citizenship). It will have interactive help system and improved user interface. There is also work in progress for new citizenship test. Finally, very exciting news for all of the users of Citizenship Easy is that everything (and I mean everything from citizenship tests to filling out and printing completed N-400 and N-600 forms) on this site is going to be absolutely free. Yes, no money required to use any part of the site!
New features will be implemented gradually. First, N-600 and “free of charge” will be introduced, then new citizenship test and other smaller features.

There is an interesting article about the number of legal and illegal immigration to the USA. The article also talks about the security enforcement at the US borders. From the article:

According to Washington Post: “The Bush administration will announce an increase today in immigration application fees of more than 80 percent, federal officials said yesterday.” The application fee rises from $330 to $595 and the fingerprint check will go from $70 to $80.
WP states that increase will raise additional $1 billion for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). It’s been said that it also would reduce delays in application processing.
